New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's acknowledgment of having secret stomach surgery may reassure voters who've wondered whether he's fit to be president.
The governor, who has struggled with excess pounds for most of his adult life, told reporters in Newark Tuesday that he had the procedure Feb. 16 for the benefit of himself, his wife, Mary Pat, and their children. He denied it was a political move.
"Just because I have a public office and I have some measure of notoriety doesn't mean that my feelings about my family and my concerns about their future are any different than yours," Christie said. "I did it because I want to try to put myself, as I get older, in the best position I can be to spend as much great time with them as I possibly can."
The 50-year-old governor is running to win a second term in November. He turned down fundraisers' overtures to embark on a 2012 presidential campaign less than two years ago, saying, "Now is not my time." Christie hasn't ruled out a 2016 bid.
"He has to realize that it's a lot easier to run for president if you can actually run," said Matthew Hale, who teaches politics at Seton Hall University in South Orange, N.J. "It also has to be in the back of his mind that the physical requirements of walking through Iowa county fairs and things like that really are not easy."
Christie, who's about 6 feet tall, hasn't publicly disclosed his weight and didn't say how much he may have lost since February. He said he considered the matter personal, and his family "is not thrilled" that the surgery, first reported by the New York Post, became public.
The governor said he used a false name when he checked in for the 40-minute surgical procedure at New York University Langone Medical Center's Weight Management Program in Manhattan. The operation was covered by his state health insurance, he said. He wouldn't say what his out-of-pocket costs were.
He went into the hospital at 7:30 a.m. and was home in Mendham at 5 p.m., he said. He didn't transfer his state powers to Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno.
Christie said he spoke with coach Rex Ryan of the New York Jets before having the surgery. Ryan underwent the procedure in 2010, performed by surgeon George Fielding, and lost almost a third of his weight, according to the Post. Christie had Fielding do his operation.
A telephone call to the doctor's office was referred to Craig Andrews, a hospital spokesman, who declined to comment. Jets spokesman Bruce Speight didn't respond to a voice message and email seeking comment.
"It is a long-term health issue for me, and that is the basis on which I made the decision," Christie said Tuesday. "It's not a career issue."
Physical fitness for presidents and candidates for the office has been stressed by advisers since at least the administration of Gerald R. Ford, the Republican who replaced Richard M. Nixon in the White House in 1974. Ford, caught on camera as he stumbled on the Air Force One steps, was mocked for "being a klutz," said Peter Woolley, who teaches politics at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison, N.J.
"The White House countered and said, 'What are you talking about?'" Woolley said by telephone. "This guy's an athlete. He was a Division I football player."
Al Gore, Democrat Bill Clinton's vice president, and Mike Huckabee, the Republican former Arkansas governor, both lost pounds before campaigning unsuccessfully for president. Sen. John McCain, a Republican from Arizona who survived torture in a Vietnamese prisoner-of-war camp and three bouts with skin cancer, was dogged by health questions before Democrat Barack Obama beat him in the 2008 presidential race.
On Feb. 4, less than two weeks before Christie had his surgery, he appeared on CBS Corp.'s "Late Show with David Letterman," munching a doughnut as a gag. He told the comedian that he had normal cholesterol and sugar levels in his blood, calling himself "basically the healthiest fat guy you've ever seen in your life."
His comments led a former White House physician, Connie Mariano, to tell CNN that the governor's weight put him at risk of heart attack, stroke or death. Christie responded by calling the doctor a "hack" and telling her to "shut up" because she hadn't examined him.
For Christie, the prime political benefit now is that he "owns and controls" the story of his weight, said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute in West Long Branch, N.J.
"Why give voters fodder for questions of your ability to serve, whether that means your physical fitness or ability to keep yourself under control?" Murray said by telephone. "You can't get around the fact that being overweight raises questions in people's minds, whether that's right or wrong."
Christie's weight hasn't been an issue to most New Jersey voters recently. In a Quinnipiac University poll released March 26, 64 percent of 1,129 of those asked said they were comfortable with the governor's girth.
In July 2011, Christie went to a hospital for emergency treatment of his chronic asthma and told reporters when he was discharged that his weight "exacerbates everything."
More than 500 million people worldwide are obese, according to the World Health Organization. About 200,000 Americans undergo weight-loss surgery each year, and roughly a third choose gastric banding, involving small rubber devices that constrict part of the stomach.

Why do wolves howl?
Of all the myths that dog the wolf, none is more widely accepted than the idea that wolves howl at the moon. Images of wolves with their heads upturned, singing at the night sky, are as unquestioned as a goldfish's three-second memory or a dog's color-blindness (both also myths).

The cooperative spirit! It makes so much sense!

I had intended to write a post about seed catalogue arrivals and all of the exciting new things I want to try this year but so far only two catalogues have arrived (one of which I didn't even order!) with rest of the usual suspects seemingly missing-in-action.
I tend to shop online and don't like to waste paper but I like the printed catalogues because it means I can multi-task my seed shopping while riding public transportation, watching a dumb movie, or sitting on the toilet. Too much information? Ten bucks says this is the most popular place to catalogue shop for seeds! I was going to go further in making the seed catalogues as porn for gardeners comparison but I'll quit while I'm ahead. But while I'm really far digressed a word to seed companies; hire better designers! Most of us like pretty pictures and I would hedge a bet that many of you are like me and buy more seeds from the companies with the warmest photos and most agreeable layout. Of course the integrity of the company and what they're actually selling is important too but it's easier to conceptualize a plant growing in your garden when you can clearly see what it looks like.
So who arrived so far this year? Richters Herbs and William Dam Seeds (I have no idea how I got this and even though I like to stay away from hybrids a quick glance shows a bunch of choices that interest me).
I am now scrambling to put in catalogue orders with a bunch of companies. They include: Seed Savers (my favourite catalogue! How could they forsake me?), Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds (they made me pay for it as a Canadaian. boo), Johnny's Select Seeds, West Coast Seeds, and Seeds of Change (kinda pricey)

Simcoe-Muskoka's medical officer of health says there has been a high level of flu activity in recent days.
Dr. Charles Gardner said the activity has been ongoing since last week and as a result he's issued a declaration of community-wide influenza.
Gardner explained the formal declaration, which includes informing the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care of the local situation, serves as a signal to health care providers of a need to enact policies and strategies to control the further spread of influenza.
The declaration also stresses the need for the general public to protect themselves. This includes vaccination for the flu, frequent hand washing, adequate sleep, eating well, staying home when ill and avoiding visits to hospitals unless symptoms worsen.

Assembly area to enhance cemetery
Date: July 28, 2011
by: Robin Roy | County Editor
Thanks to a $5.5-million pledge from The Patterson Foundation, the Sarasota National Cemetery will have an enhanced ceremonial area capable of hosting more than 2,600 people.
The nearly 2-acre site will serve as a formal place for ceremonies and celebrations, such as Memorial Day and Veterans Day, held at the veterans cemetery on State Road 72, east of I-75.
The improvements also will provide enjoyment for visitors throughout the year.
"(The goal is to) inspire patriotism and honor the nation's veterans," said Mary Elder, the cemetery's acting director.
The enhanced area will consist of a large, covered seating area for nearly 3,000 people, a stage with lighting and amplification systems, artwork, gardens and veteran memorials.
The Patterson Foundation approached the Sarasota National Cemetery last year with a concept for an enhanced assembly area, as part of its military initiative.
"We saw extensive funding in so many other areas concerning veterans," said Patterson Foundation president and CEO Debra Jacobs. "But there is no other foundation to show how private philanthropy can enhance national cemeteries."
Jacobs hopes this project will serve as a model for the country's 130 veterans cemeteries, so their communities can provide similar facilities.
"We can show donors how to (create assembly areas) without a learning curve," she said.
The Sarasota National Cemetery eventually will encompass 295 acres; 13 acres have been completed in phase one of construction, which is expected to last until late summer 2012.
Construction of the enhanced assembly area will begin as soon as phase one is finished.
As of July 22, 3,738 veterans and their family members had been interred at the cemetery.

• Covered stage that holds up to 30 people

2013-2014 Film History Courses
Introduction to Film Art
This lecture is designed to introduce students to the rich art of film. We will begin by studying cinema's basic aesthetic features: its stylistic techniques such as editing, cinematography, and sound, as well as its major narrative and non-narrative forms. We will then consider aesthetic concepts relevant to film art such as genre and auteur. Throughout, we will watch a variety of films from the United States and abroad that exemplify cinema's myriad forms and styles: mainstream and avant-garde, fiction and nonfiction, narrative and non-narrative, black-and-white and color, silent and sound. The class will heighten students' aesthetic appreciation of any film by enabling them to notice and evaluate the creative choices made by filmmakers of all kinds. We will meet twice a week; in addition, there will be two separate mandatory screenings per week.
Cinema in the 1930s
In the 1930s, the first decade of sound, cinema flourished around the world. It was a great decade for Hollywood movies, with gangster films such as The Public Enemy and Scarface, musicals such as 42nd Street and Swing Time, melodramas such as Man's Castle and Stella Dallas, political films such as Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and Young Mr. Lincoln, and comedies such as City Lights, Trouble in Paradise, It Happened One Night, and The Awful Truth. It was also a great decade for French and Japanese cinema: directors like Jean Vigo and Jean Renoir in France and Kenji Mizoguchi, Yasujiro Ozu, Mikio Naruse, and Hiroshi Shimizu in Japan were taking the art of film in new directions. And in Germany and the Soviet Union, as well, some remarkable movies were being made. In this course, we will look at a rich sampling of world cinema from the 1930s.
Major Filmmakers
Film is a collaborative art. The director, the writer, the cinematographer, the editor, the actors...all these and several other talents come together to make a movie. "People are incorrect to compare a director to an author," John Ford said. "If he's a creator, he's more like an architect. And an architect conceives his plans according to precise circumstances." In this course, we will examine the work of four major filmmakers and great architects of cinema: John Ford, Kenji Mizoguchi, Jean Renoir, and Luis Buñuel. All four had long careers whose development and evolution, both stylistic and thematic, we will look into with some care.
The Horror Film
Frankenstein, Dracula, The Thing from Another World, Psycho, Night of the Living Dead, The Exorcist, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, Alien, Videodrome, The Silence of the Lambs...these are just some of the influential films we will be watching in order to study the ways in which American horror films and their monsters have been designed to make their audiences feel horrified. We will pay equal attention to the creative innovations of individual filmmakers and the conventions of the genre within which they work. We will examine whether the genre reflects, if not promotes, the fears of American society and address some of the larger philosophical questions it raises: What, precisely, is horror? Why do we enjoy watching films that make us feel ostensibly undesirable emotions such as fear and disgust—emotions which, in our ordinary lives, we tend to avoid? Finally, we will compare and contrast American and Japanese horror films, a number of which have recently been remade in the United States.
The Double
Characters in fiction are often doubles of each other, as in the strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. In this course, we will examine various forms of the double in films from the silent era to the present day. We will begin with The Student of Prague, a German movie from 1913 that tells the story of a student haunted by his mirror image after he sells it to a mysterious stranger; and we will read Otto Rank's classic psychoanalytic study, The Double, which focuses on this film. Like Jekyll and Hyde or Dorian Gray and his picture, the student of Prague and his reflection are an example of the Gothic double, the uncanny doppelganger in the Romantic tradition. We will consider several other examples in works by such filmmakers as Hitchcock, Fritz Lang, Maya Deren, Kurosawa, Antonioni, Werner Herzog, and David Lynch. But there is an older, comic tradition of doubling that has to do with social identity—the outer rather than the inner self—and we will also consider the comic double in works by such filmmakers as Chaplin, Lubitsch, Ozu, Preston Sturges, Woody Allen, and Almodóvar. Besides the comic and the Gothic, there are other kinds of doubling: the gangster father and the son turned gangster in The Godfather, the figures of East and West in John Ford's westerns, the dreamlike other selves in Buñuel's surrealist films, the director impersonator in Kiarostami's Close-Up, the husband looking for his wife and the wife looking for her husband in Zhang Ke Jia's Still Life, and the portraits of the artist in works by such filmmakers as Cocteau, Mizoguchi, Fellini, and Tarkovsky. Any characters set in comparison with one another may be viewed as doubles; and characters can be doubles not only of each other but also of the spectator—when we identify with a character he or she becomes, in a sense, our double—and of the implied author behind the work. We will look into figures of the author and of the spectator among other variants of the double in a medium whose images and sounds are, themselves, doublings: animated duplicates of life.
The New Waves
The New Wave is often assumed to be a uniquely French development in which, around 1960, a group of young film critics modernized filmmaking in their innovative first feature films that appealed to the tastes of young people as never before. In fact, the years 1958-67 saw a host of new cinemas emerge throughout Europe and beyond, as young filmmakers entered the film industry in unprecedented numbers and pioneered new film forms and styles. This course will consider The New Wave as an international phenomenon. Hence, although we will begin in France with the films of Godard, Truffaut, Chabrol, Resnais, and Varda, we will quickly shift focus to young filmmakers working in other countries in Europe in the 1960s, such as Bertolucci and Pasolini in Italy, Reisz and Anderson in Great Britain, and Kluge and Straub/Huillet in Germany. We will then turn our attention to the Young Cinema in Poland, the Czech New Wave, and the New Cinemas in Yugoslavia and Hungary; we will end the first semester with the work of Tarkovsky and Paradzhanov in the Soviet Union. We will begin the second semester with the extraordinary films of Oshima, Teshigahara, Yoshida, Shinoda, Imamura, Suzuki, and other members of the Japanese New Wave before moving on to the New Hollywood of the late 1960s, in which filmmakers such as Kubrick, Scorsese, and Altman combined classical Hollywood genres with modernist innovations. Finally, we will consider the more politicized Cinema Novo in Brazil. Throughout, we will pay attention to the innovations of individual filmmakers, what they shared in common, the extent to which they transformed their film industries, and the social and economic conditions that made their innovations possible. Previous study of film history is a prerequisite for this class.


text: If you're one of those people that intend on relying on social security for their retirement, you shouldn't. While social security is intended to be used by people when they reach their retirement age, it may not be around for that much longer. In order to properly plan for your retirement years, you should assume that you'll be paying for it all yourself without depending on social security. Although that may not be desirable for some people, it may be inevitable based on the current data. It's said that younger workers who have higher-incomes shouldn't intend on getting the same level of benefits that everyone's parents and grandparents are receiving. Rates may be even lower by the time the current generation reaches their retirement age, or even may be completely gone again.… Continue Reading

Friendly, quick late check-in, helpful with handling damaged luggage from airline. Great room (upgraded)! Convenient to reach from KL Central train station by Monorail (with a small grain of salt concerning the walk from KLCentral to the Monorail, with more luggage, taxi better)."
This is an outstanding hotel, one of the best in KL, with luxury decoration and great service. The lobby is impressive with the most courteous staff, I asked for a room with view on the twin towers and they made the necessary immediately. The breakfast is really incredible with top quality foods from all over the world and for all tastes, it was hard to decide what to eat as there was so many things to choose from. My 6 year old daughter was delighted with the chocolate fountains ! The swimming pool is not very big but in the center of KL it is difficult to ask for more. There are several gastronomic restaurants, we tested the Japanese and it was excellent, it was just a bit cold in the restaurant because of the air conditioning. A great stay really worth the price"
Reasonably priced, great location (surrounds by major KL shopping places), friendly staff, clean room, good amenities, comfortable bed, stable speedy WiFi connection, even the breakfast selection is great. The only small catch is the parking. We had a rental car with us, the parking entrance wasn't exactly obvious (maybe it's just us) and the parking ticket validating process is very cumbersome. The concierge has to manually write a ticket for us, and then upon reaching the car park, we have to exchange the ticket with the parking attendant to get a validated car park ticket for the machine. Certainly can be improved but not a big deal. Will definitely consider coming back to Park Royal if we're in KL again."
I've gone to Berjaya Langkawi Resort for a quick one night stay with my wife and baby with really low expectations... Once there everything went extremely fine! They have putted a nice and new baby crib with a full Johnson & Johnson hygiene kit and a baby bathtub. The room was amazing, the staff was super nice with us and adorable with the baby! The only bad thing in our stay: IT WAS TOO SHORT! Congratulations to the whole Berjaya Langkawi Resort team and look forward to getting back there soon!"
My stay was really good I wished I had stayed for a day extra. The room is ok for the price and not fancy, bathroom setup is weird as if you open the blinds people passing by can see you in the loo. Beach and the swimming pool is very pretty in the morning. Food in the hotel is good and people must not miss the dinner bbq buffet. Location of the hotel is apt and you have a lot eateries at walking distance.Dont miss seafood at okidaro restaurant 5 min away from hotel. One instance I did not like was when I had requested the receptionist for a free room upgrade if possible on my arrival and mentioned she would look into it based on availability. During checkin when I enquiried about my room upgrade I got a rude reply "I said I will only look into it and did not promise"rather than giving me a reason why it was not possible. I did not expect such a reply from a 5 star hotel. if they call themselves 5 star hotel they need to train their receptionists on customer service"
The hotel is very new and the rooms and facilities are great. The spa and especially the pool area areamazing!!! Staff at reception seems unexperienced and pool service was friendly but totally unefficient. Every day we were nearly waiting 30 min to get an ordered drink (if they didn't forget us). Food was average at best. The reward card was heavily sold to us only to find out that the promised discount only worked in a few places..."
We only stayed for a night. I was booked at the tower block, however we had to pay extra to stay facing the beachfront. The cafe, swimming pool are located at the beach front block. We have no complaints about the hotel. We don't mind staying here again whenever we are in Penang."
We reached the hotel much earlier than the check-in time. There was an excellent lobby area to relax. The reception staff were very friendly, sympathetic and helpful. Even before the room was alloted to us, we were allowed to have complimentary breakfast. As the buffet spread was very large, we enjoyed our breakfast even though we are total vegetarians. The room was given to us as soon as it was cleaned. The room was bright with morning sunshine and clean. All the staff operating in the lobby area were very friendly and told us about the different places to visit in and around George Town. They also told us, names of malls, for purchasing different items. The chef was friendly and offered to make a pure vegetarian sandwich for our lunch. We were pleasantly surprised to see a couple of our American friends also staying at the same hotel. The Evergreen Laurel Hotel made our stay from 6-4-12 to 9-4-12 an enjoyable one. We thank all the members of the hotel for making our stay a memorable one. We wish them all the best."
Overall I was really satisfied with this hotel! The room was big, and clean, as was the bathroom. Great shower also. The hotel is in a good spot, located on a street with a lot of food hawkers that come out in the evening, and also really close to one of the main bus terminals in Georgetown. I also really enjoyed the pool and sundeck, which continued to get sun into the late afternoon/early evening (downside: the pool is a bit small, and often swarming with kids, but what can you expect for a city hotel). I was really happy at this hotel, and would not hesitate to stay here again next time in Georgetown!"
Our family of four, and two friends, really enjoyed our stay. Loved the sunset views from the bar, the large pools, and breakfast, which did get crowded. Twice we had to wait about a half hour to be seated, and there was some confusion about whether we could book a breakfast time! I would highly recommend this hotel."
The service was excellent. The food in all the restaurants was fantastic as was the enormous quality breakfast included in my stay. The hotel itself is clean and beautiful and located for a quiet relaxed getaway on its own 3 km beachfront away from the din of the city. For those who want activity, there are plenty of excursions to be had, not the least of which is the orangutan sanctuary in the hectares of jungle also belonging to the hotel. Spa services were professional and quality. You will pay for all this but feel it was worth it."
friendly staff, great service. We arrived at the hotel around 12 and our room wasn't ready, we were told to come back in an hour but the room was still being cleaned, so we were upgraded to a club room and had free drinks at the lobby. Location was convenient, close to Gaya street and the jetty. Pool is a bit small."

While you have to focus on countless details at any conference, there is one area that demands more of your time and care.
Salman Khan is revolutionizing the way young minds learn in and out of the classroom. Here's what you can borrow from his approach for your next meeting.
When the meetings industry unites in Boston in January, you and your colleagues can discover a reinvigorated Learning Lounge. Get a first glimpse of the new design here.
It's no secret that medical meetings are changing. Show organizers, exhibitors and physicians are all adjusting to the new norms of the Sunshine Act. While these new regulations hold serious implications for what happens inside exhibit halls and networking receptions, a new survey shows that many healthcare professionals are thinking long and hard about what's happening within their actual work environments, too.
SEE ALSO: Shedding Light on the Sunshine Act
In a new CareerBuilder survey of more than 500 US healthcare workers and more than 240 US healthcare employers, 34 percent of respondents indicated that they plan to look for new jobs in 2013. That's a year-over-year increase of 10 percent when compared with the same survey results last year.
"Not only are healthcare organizations dealing with a shortage of high skill workers, they are facing higher demand fueled by an aging population and more Americans having access to medical benefits," Jason Lovelace, President, CareerBuilder Healthcare, said in a statement. "The survey shows healthcare workers are seeking a more manageable work experience."
As medical meeting planners work to attract more attendees, this research reveals that one of the key pieces of the puzzle may be providing valuable career advice on-site.
"While health care professionals will attend meetings to meet continuing education requirements, the survey highlights that many of those attendees may also be searching for valuable insights into how to find new jobs," Chris Wehking, Director of Meetings & Exhibits, American Society of Anesthesiologists, says. "From resume advice to career counseling sessions, planners should consider how they can meet these needs during their meetings."
SEE ALSO: The Future of Medical Meetings
The survey also reveals that planners should consider offering courses designed to help managers become better leaders who understand how to create an everyday experience where employees don't feel overwhelmed. Sixty percent of respondents indicated that they feel burned out on their jobs.
"From providing attendees with tools to help improve communication skills to outlining conflict resolution plans in the workplace, the research reveals that senior-level health care professionals must take steps to ensure that their employees to be amply prepared and trained to be successful in their roles," Wehking says.

Andy Kindler is known in comedy circles as a troublemaker. Originally from New York, and now complaining from California, he annoys people all over the world.
Andy is a frequent guest and correspondent for The Late Show with David Letterman. Each summer at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal he delivers the State of the Industry address to a packed ballroom filled with comics and Hollywood industry types. He is infamous for his scathing attacks on the world of entertainment, including the previously taboo practice of making fun of his fellow comedians. Just as the comedy boom of the nineties was imploding, Andy wrote the "Hack's Handbook" for National Lampoon. This "how-to" guide satirized and exposed tired comedy formulas.
Andy currently recurs on IFC's Maron, Comedy Central's Tosh.0 and Fox's hit animation, Bob's Burgers. He was also a judge on the seventh season of NBC's Last Comic Standing and starred in two half-hour Comedy Central Presents specials. Other noteworthy credits include the HBO Young Comedians Special, Late Night with Conan O'Brian, The Daily Show, Wizards of Waverly Place, Dr. Katz Professional Therapist, Home Movies and The Larry Sanders Show. Andy is often recognized for playing the life-affirming character "Andy" on the CBS sitcom, Everybody Loves Raymond.

Besides appearing on great television shows like The Larry Sanders Show and Ally McBeal, Bil has also been in such forgettable films as Ski School 2, The Bogus Witch Project, and What Planet are You From?

"We ordered these for our engagement party and are really happy with how they turned out. After we ordered, we were sent an email to proof read everything and with a suggestion to change the wording of the date- which I thought was really helpful. The cards arrived on time and look great, we went with a slightly upgraded paper quality (which I would recommend) but everything was just the way we wanted. We're now ordering our save the dates the same way!"
"Great deal, invitations were beautiful, quick delivery ! Only problem was that the envelopes were too big for the invitation, which was not a big deal but the envelopes would bend."
"This invitation is so cute! Big print and easy to read. Would highly recommend to anyone. I choose the coral color which is a very pretty color. Great card!"
"Absolutely beautiful! Well done in all area's. Would recommend your company and already have! Prompt delivery. Ordered on Sunday, delivered on Wednesday and in the mail by Thursday! Where can you get service like that. You made the beginning of my son's wedding journey an easy relaxing comfortable one! Thank you!"
"I left the images and txt how it is. As soon as I saw it I fell in love. The first time I ordered I mistakenly put the wrong date but they were very helpful in correcting it and resending quickly. Even downrange I still got them in a good amount of time."

The difference is dynamic
It's all about perfecting a natural look. Dynamic Edge LED backlighting with frame dimming delivers pitch-black night scenes and illuminates bright scenes that pop with vibrant color.

FORTUNE -- It looks like billionaire hedge-fund manager David Einhorn won half his battle with Apple (AAPL) in a New York federal court Tuesday.
Lawyers for Greenlight Capital, Einhorn's firm, had argued that putting into one proposition three separate items -- two of which Einhorn supported and one (which barred Apple's board from issuing preferred shares without a shareholder vote) he vehemently opposed -- was a clear violation of SEC regulations against such "bundling."
At the end of the 90-minute hearing -- expedited because Apple's shareholders meeting is scheduled for Feb. 27 -- U.S. District Judge Richard Sullivan said he was inclined to agree.
"Candidly I do think the likelihood of success is in favor for Greenlight on the merits," he said.
What was less clear was whether Greenlight had proved that it would suffer the "irreparable harm" required for the judge to issue a preliminary injunction blocking the vote. The egg could always be "unscrambled," he said, using the metaphor both sides seemed to favor, if he later determined that the proposition was illegal.
Besides, no matter how the vote went, he said, Einhorn was unlikely to get Apple to issue the preferred shares he had been lobbying for. (See What exactly does David Einhorn want from Apple?) Although Tim Cook promised to give the idea serious consideration, he also characterized Einhorn's lawsuit last week as a "silly sideshow."
Apple's lawyers, for their part, described in apocalyptic terms the prospect of a New York judge preventing a California corporation from conducting a shareholder vote as it saw fit. "Unprecedented interference in the suffrage of one of the most respected companies in America," they called it.
Just to issue the new proxy ballot Einhorn is demanding would cost Apple, by its estimation, $3 million in mailing costs alone. Greenlight's lawyers calculated that when spread among nearly a billion Apple shares, that amounted to three hundredths of a penny per share.
"Chump change to you maybe," Judge Sullivan said. "To a federal judge that sounds like real money."
At the end of the day, the judge seemed attracted to a wait-and-see scenario Apple's lawyers put forward where he wouldn't, in his words, "have to do a damned thing."
"It's a mess no matter what I do," he said.
He promised a ruling before next Wednesday's meeting.

The garage is right underneath the house with one exterior wall (concrete wall about 6 feet tall; tested the concrete sidewall for moisture, no moisture found. There is also a window on the side of the concrete wall. Additionally, there are two interior walls (2x4 stud walls, 16 inches on center) that separate the conditioned living spaces from the garage.
The garage is unheated (semi-conditioned, the temperature never gets below 40 degrees in the winter) with a heating duct running to the above bedroom.
Should I build a wall and insulate the concrete wall? If yes, what are the proper layers? I will not be planning on heating the garage.
In regards to the other two interior walls, should I use any vapor barriers with the insulation? If yes, what are the proper layers?
I will be using Type X drywall with Ultra Touch Cotton Bats.
I live in Seattle, in the marine zone 4.
Thanks for you help,

by Roland G. Fryer and Paul Torelli. Reading for week of November 29, 2005.
There is a debate among social scientists regarding the existence of a peer externality commonly referred to as 'acting white.' Using a newly available data set (the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health), which allows one to construct an objective measure of a student's popularity, we demonstrate that there are large racial differences in the relationship between popularity and academic achievement, our (albeit narrow) definition of 'acting white.' The effect is intensified among high achievers and in schools with more interracial contact, but non-existent among students in predominantly black schools or private schools. The patterns in the data appear most consistent with a two-audience signaling model in which investments in education are thought to be indicative of an individual's opportunity costs of peer group loyalty. Other models we consider, such as self-sabotage among black youth or the presence of an oppositional culture, all contradict the data in important ways.
